Build warm, supportive relationships

The best relationships give us joy, support us, challenge us, and help us thrive. Many of us long for the security and trust of knowing that others are there for us, in moments of ease and playfulness, and in times of pain and stress.

Many of carry wounds that keep us from having healthy relationships to other people. Sometimes we choose people who hurt us, or whose needs and desires don’t fit well with ours. Loneliness, conflict or abuse can be devastating, and affect every part of our lives.

 There’s lots of societal pressure to make our relational lives fit cultural narratives. LGBTQ+ folks, people in interracial relationships, people who are non-monogamous, or people who don’t center romantic relationships can all face prejudice, and it can be difficult to know how to navigate those challenges together.
